I just used StumbleUpon and found this page: http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/atrocities.html.

The first chart was interesting, showing how many people have been killed for other reasons than religion. Most of those were due to land and power struggles, invasions, and corrupt or inept governments. However, every one of those countries or groups had religion of some sort (even the Mongols, who were…

first, do make sure you tune in tonight to check out Greg's interview with philosopher of religion Dr. Matt McCormick! Greg and Dr. McCormick talk about some basic issues in philosophy of religion and then move on to talking about undermining a belief in the resurrection by pointing to witchcraft in Salem Massachusetts (the Salem Witch Trials). it's excellent stuff that's instantly usable in debates…
